Downlighter Connections

[sparkyvr]

Hi all

I doing an eicr in a hotel. In the bathroom they have downlighters, some with 12v transformers some with LED GU10 fittings.

In a large majority of cases, there are plastic connectors on both sides of the transformers, no junction box, in free air laying on the ceiling.

Would you Code 1 the low voltage side & Code 2 the extra low voltage side or Code 2 both sides.

Your thoughts and advice will be gratefully received.

Code 2. They are not immediately accessible as such, but they are a potential danger yes.

You may be even able to argue Code 3, depending on the actual terminations. If just a choc block then Code 2 in my view.

Many thanks Mr G Owl

I figured as much but wanted to be absolutely sure as there is an epidemic of these types of finish in this hotel.
